It’s really amazing to see KSA announcing multibillion dollar projects in the middle of a world financial crisis. The Kingdom holding company owned by Waleed Bin Talal has officially got the license for building the worlds highest tower “The Kingdom tower”. The project will take 63 months to build. It is a mixed used tower for a hotel, apartments and offices. The tower is the first phase of building the Kingdom city which is located near Jeddah with a size of 5.3 million square meters. The Jeddah economic company signed the contract for building the Kingdom tower in late 2011 with Bin Laden Group for 4.6 billion SR. As they have also signed a partnership agreement to have Bin Laden group own 16.63% from the shares of Jeddah economic company.

This website is sooo amazing, you can order all kinds of products from the Japanese market. The idea of the website is so innovative, it’s owned by a Kuwaiti entrepreneur. It’s been almost a year since the website was established, that’s such a short time for a website with a huge assortment of items (food, electronics, accessories, toys…etc). Most of the available items so far I’ve never seen such items like them in any market. You guys really must check out the website.

Shurooq amin is a very talented and professional artist who was organizing a gallery for her art work in Salhiya. I have attended the first day of the gallery, and I have really loved the paintings, they all carry the same message and meaning but from different angles.

The DISSAPOINTING thing is that we in Kuwait have a bombarded government that talks about democracy and the freedom of speech but doesn’t know the true meaning of that word, and for that they CLOSED the gallery. If a big or small number of people don’t think that the art work is right then they can just not go to the gallery, but they have to respect other peoples rights of expression.

I am a big fan of Dan Browns novels. I’ve read all his books including the lost symbol. I think that his last novel ‘The Lost Symbol’ is the best out of all the other novels. And now finally the movie is coming soon this year, however I do think or maybe even know that it’s not going to be as good as the book, simply because a book always makes the story more exciting, yet still I want to see the movie.

KLM airline started a very cool service, and through that service you can choose your seat mate, especially when your in a long flight. KLM calls it the “meet & seat” service. It works in Facebook and LinkedIn but sadly not on twitter. I think that this is the beginning of a social flying revolution, it is just so cool. I hope for it to be provided in Al Jazeera Airlines
